RimuHosting specialize in Linux Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting plans using Xen. These plans are far more flexible and powerful than 'regular' virtual hosting plans. A RimuHosting VPS is functionally equivalent to a Linux dedicated server, but at a fraction of the cost.
(VPS allows do-it-yourself installation, so FCGI/Lighttpd also possible)a

I've been using RimuHosting for a couple of years at this point and I'm very happy with them. Haven't had any downtime that I can recall, and the support staff is both technically savvy and really prompt. I've filed maybe a half dozen support tickets and each one was responded to within about ten minutes, regardless of the time of day. Each person I get a response from has the same feel of competence and know-how - being a sysadmin myself, it's great to basically feel like they're my peers and not some underpaid support technician.
I run Django on a Debian 4.1 VPS using Apache/mod_python & Postgres, and it's been swell.

Another thumbs up. Support is as good as it gets. I'm running VPS so I don't know about shared hosting options. Can highly recommend their VPS plans though.

One more thumbs up.
I'm on Plan 2, and they even bumped my memory up in exchange for 1 of the 2 permanent IPs they give you for plan 2.
Awesome folks, and support is always quick and painless.

And another rimu fan here. Been using them for a few years.
Using debian, lighttpd, FCGI. Was using apache/java there before I switched to django.
As the others say, the support is great. The only real trouble I've had was when I upgraded debian to etch. Ended up in apt-soup and the rimu guys sorted me out- way more than I could have expected for 'free' support. 250 days uptime since then.
I'm in the London data centre. One small gripe- I discovered they have cheaper plans on London data centre 2, so I'm about to move there.
